Star striker in rout reveals that Nico de la Cruz is the best among the Most Beloved athletes in basketball

According to the striker, the Flamengo squad maintains an internal competition in basketball. Thus, the statement occurred on Mengocast, a program presented by João Guilherme on the YouTube channel of Flamengo, this Friday (29).

— I am the worst. I am the one who goes under the table the most. There's that, whoever doesn't do well goes under the table. Then there's the competition, right? There, whoever wants to get the first five wins and whoever gets less goes under the table. Always going under the table. There was a day there that I went five times. Then I said, I won't play anymore -, stated Samuel Lino laughing to add that:

— And when I arrived, then I started to play a little. But Nico had never played there. Because he was operating and everything. Then the guys say like this: 'No, the best is Nico, the best is Nico'. Then he never played, then he played once, then more or less. Then after the other times that he played all, 'bag' inside -, joked the number 16.

Where does Lino do well?
